Directions: Cones are placed at points of action to
aid skaters. Player A passes to Player B who has skated into the high slot for a
criss-cross action. Player B now skates with the puck around the bottom cone
heading for the top cone. Player A at the same time is skating around the top
cone heading for the bottom cone. Player B makes a drop pass to Player A between
the cones, changing the direction of the puck. Player B continues to skate
around the top cone while Player A skates around the bottom cone with the puck,
all heading for the goal.

For a 3 on 1 a defenseman skates from the net to the blue line while the
other players are running their routes and defends a 3 on 1 as they cross the
blue line to attack the goal.

Puck must cross the blue line first so no off-sides.

Player C is trailing and becomes the high slot outlet and goes no lower
than the top of the circles. Player A meanwhile is skating to the goal with the
puck trying to pull the goalie to the
strong side and showing that he is going to shoot. If the goalie pulls to the
strong side Player A passes back to Player C for a one timer in the back door or
a quick pass to Player B for a shot. It is
important that Player B is at least a little further than a goalie stick length
from the goalie on the weak side so that a pass can not be poke checked away. If the
goalie shows a hole then Player A takes the shot.

Variations: Add a Defensive player into the slot after
the beginning criss-cross. Player A and B perform another criss-cross
and drop pass in the high slot after rounding the cones for the attack on goal.
